Tara Fela Durotoye fondly called (TFD), founder of House of Tara, has announced the launch of her first-ever book titled Building Beyond You: The House of Tara Story.

The accomplished entrepreneur shared the news on her Instagram page, reflecting on why now was the right time to tell her story.

According to Tara, the book did not come early, halfway into the journey, or at the peak of success; but after years of building, falling, learning, leading, exiting, and rebuilding.

In her words, the book chronicles her entrepreneurial journey and is beautifully written with the tools that shaped her thinking and the truths that formed her leadership.

Tara described Building Beyond You as part autobiography and part business guide, offering practical frameworks for building sustainable structures, systems, and succession.

“This isn’t a highlight reel,” Tara noted. “It’s wisdom earned over time.”

She revealed that this is her first book, written after 27 years of doing the work, and encouraged her followers to join her in making it a bestseller.

One striking detail about the book is the powerful endorsements on its cover. The foreword is written by Ibukun Awosika, while the afterword comes from renowned global business speaker Vusi Thembekwayo (a testament to the weight and credibility of the story being told.)

The book announcement comes shortly after Tara shared with her Instagram audience that she has 50 things she wants to do before turning 50. Publishing this book is one of the milestones she has already ticked off her bucket list.

Tara’s followers and industry leaders alike are eagerly anticipating the remaining goals she has promised to unveil in the coming days.

For anyone familiar with Tara Fela Durotoye’s journey, this move comes as no surprise. She is widely regarded as an icon and an epitome of excellence in business and leadership, having built one of Africa’s most respected beauty and entrepreneurial brands.
